Michael Shure, Dorothy Lucey and Ana Kasparian break down Rep. Todd Akin’s claim that women’s bodies can prevent pregnancy from “legitimate” rape. It turns out that it can be done — but not by humans. After doing some research, Lucey says, “Apparently, a duck can do this. A duck can will itself not to get pregnant from rape.” Kasparian says, “That’s fascinating, because [Akin] said that he’d spoken in error. He said that he’d read some sort of report. I guess he read a report on the ducks.”
